The Kiev regime is fantasizing about launching an offensive by which they would retake the Kherson region in the south. The reality is that, despite the propaganda portraying Russia’s special military operation as suffering one defeat after another, the Ukrainian armed forces have not once showed any ability to seize the initiative on the battlefield, much less mount a counter-offensive.
Oleksii Reznikov, the regime’s Defense Minister, claimed in an interview with the Sunday Times of London that Ukraine is massing a million-man army for the fantasized offensive. “We understand that, politically, it’s very necessary for our country. The President has given the order to the supreme military chief to draw up plans. After that the general staff are doing their homework and say to achieve this goal we need XYZ,” he said. “This is my job. I’m writing letters to counterparts in partner countries, the generals talk about why we need this kind of weaponry and then we get the political decisions.”
Reznikov said he was satisfied with the support Ukraine was receiving from NATO partners but not the pace of deliveries. “We need more, quickly, to save the lives of our soldiers. Each day we’re waiting for howitzers, we can lose a hundred soldiers.”
